Organic personality disorder is an infrequently diagnosed entity that is in reality more common. Organic factors may significantly influence personality structure. Various clinical presentations are discussed and various types of personality disorder are classified according their prevailing symptoms. Further on we discuss the most frequent localization of lesions responsible for organic personality disorder as well as their most frequent causes. Cerebrovascular factors, trauma consequences, infections and central nervous intoxications, epilepsy, status post neurosurgical interventions belong to the most frequent causes. Some organic disorders are at least partially treatable with suitable therapy of underlying disease.

Keywords: amygdala, frontal cortex, organic involvement, personality, behavioral disorders
